Table 9 Rationale for using ADA and EGOA for Feature Selection.

From: A hybrid deep learning model for detection and mitigation of DDoS attacks in VANETs

Aspect

ADA

EGOA

Swarm behavior

Separation, alignment, cohesion

Nonlinear social interaction + adaptive decay

Adaptivity

Dynamic inertia and behavior weights

Oscillating step size for fine convergence

Exploration vs. Exploitation

Balanced via adaptive coefficients

Enhanced local search via cosine decay

Time complexity

O(Pâ‹…Tâ‹…FlogF)

Same, with fewer iterations due to faster convergence

Convergence guarantee

Fitness stagnation + MaxIter

Fitness stagnation + adaptive step decay
